MODERATORS
I don't know how the USA can fix its shit political situation. You guys should have had a chance at voting in Bernie in 2016, but you didn't have the chance. Australia isn't as far down that path yet, but at least we have mandatory voting, so have a better chance at achieving a good result through political education, which will only occur through discussions with our social circles. I don't think accelerationist ideas will achieve a positive outcome though. It's first about imagining a better alternative, and being vocal about it. Every person who works for a living should have affordable housing and healthcare, for example, without incurring a 30 year debt or going bankrupt. It happened in the post WW2 era, it can happen again if enough people demand it.
